Carens Wine and Cheese Bar, Toronto, ON

Yorkville's hidden gem; Carens wine and cheese is a quaint, rustic French restaurant specializing in a vast selection of wine and cheese from all over the world. Serving lunch and dinner every day of the week and classic brunch on weekends, Carens boasts a unique dining experience and a delightful summer patio unlike any other.

First up was goat cheese, almonds, apricots and bread. I'm not a fan of goat cheese but Gord said it was good.

Gord's plate

Matt took care of us (he's been with Carens for eight years). Here he is explaining the first wine that was paired with the starter.

This wine was good

Next was Tuna Rothschild. This was Gord's favourite course (I didn't have any as I don't like tuna so he had mine).

Next was French Onion Soup. I've never had it before and it was good.

Here's the wine that was paired with it.

I liked it ... it was light

Then came the Mac and Cheese. I only tried the prosciutto one (not a fan of lobster or truffles) and it was my favourite course of the night. Gord's favourite was the truffle one.
